Use the distributive property to express 28+42

1 answer:

5 0

To express the sum of two numbers using distributive property, we factor out the highest common factor (HCF) of the two numbers (i.e. the greatest number that can divide the two numbers without remainder)

28 = 2 x 2 x 7
42 = 2 x 3 x 7

The HCF of 28 and 42 is given by 2 x 7 = 14

Therefore, we express 28 + 42 using distributive property thus: 14(2 + 3)

Solve 3x2 = −12x − 15. x = −4 ± 2i x = −4 ± i x = −2 ± 2i x = −2 ± i

diamong [38]

ANSWER

$x = - 2 \pm i$

EXPLANATION

We use the method of completing the squares.

The equation is
$3 {x}^{2} = - 12x - 15$

We rewrite the above equation to obtain;

$3 {x}^{2} + 12x = - 15$

We divide through by 3 to obtain;

${x}^{2} + 4x = - 5$

We add half the coefficient of
$x$

to both sides of the equation to get,

${x}^{2} + 4x + {2}^{2} = - 5 + {2}^{2}$

The right hand side is now a perfect square.

${(x + 2)}^{2} = - 1$

We now take square root of both sides to get;

$x + 2 = \pm \sqrt{ - 1}$

We add -2 to both sides,

$x = - 2 \pm \sqrt{ - 1}$

We simplify to obtain,

$x = - 2 \pm i$
